I have fun every time I run, and have recently overcome the "I can't go fast anymore" hurdle.  I'm having fun going faster and working towards becoming even faster.  

I have raised two running children, one competitive and one not.

I have learned to run in ice and snow and I don't complain. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Work towards a faster marathon by Spring 2012.

Get my 5K down to 21:30. 

Place in my division at duathlon and triathlon.

Train for biathlon.



 




 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Joining Forrest Gump


 

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

Group run this morning; warm up run for a mile, then strides, then warm up exercises, then 2 miles easy (9:30ish), 2 miles marathon (8:30ish), 2 more miles easy.  Not many miles, as we are saving ourselves for some big mystery strength training next week.  

Its been nice to have a lower mileage, easier week while my IT is getting better.  Got a lot of bike rides in also.

Will run a few more miles this afternoon or ride my bike, depending on whether it rains.

Got up to the mountain by 5:00; time for an easy run with daughter and cousin in the woods.  It was fun to run with people I don't usually run with, especially with my cousin, since its good to see her back running again after bout with breast cancer!  She looks and feels great.  Yeah!  Got to try out the new Vroom! shoes.  Loved them.

A big mystery strength training workout sounds a little scary.

Were you just having a cutback week? That's a good thing to do every so often.

Great miles--i can't wait to hear about the mystery strenth workout. Only b/c I steal your ideas for my routines...tee hee

Yeah, let us know about that workout! :)

We continue to enjoy cloudy days, but still not one drop of rain, for weeks and weeks. Have you had any?
